my life's pretty routine. (from Q)

Jamie looked around them with a smirk before putting his gaze back to Q.

"Routine is having a paper round, or going to the gym everyday. You mean to tell me this is routine? At any moment something wild can happen we were unprepared for."

"I-I would rather wait," Q said softly as he tried to shift away from her, green eyes wide and terrified. Completely different from the man who had been in the bar a few weeks previously. None of that confidence. It could have been believable that they were just twins; if twins had the exact same glasses and watch and fingerprints. But Marcus was suppressed for a reason Q couldn't understand and his arm was definitely dislocated. His mind was completely jumbled following the attack. "D-did they say how long they would be? Can I use your phone?" He asked.

"If we wait, that swelling's just going to go up," she told him gently. "I can take care of this in like, two seconds, but I need you to trust me. You trust me, don't you Marcus?"

He didn't seem like himself. It was likely the pain, the violence of the attack. She did her best to smile at him, to reassure him as he reoriented himself to the world.

"The ambulance isn't going to get here for at least another ten, maybe fifteen minutes, and those paramedics are going to charge you an arm and a leg for what I do for free." She winked at him. "You've already had your ass handed to you once today, but if you want to sit here and wait for round two, be my guest. I'll get you something to take your mind off it." She fished around in the pocket of her jeans for her phone. "D'you want me to make the call? You probably shouldn't move around too much... Not that you're not going to be okay! You're going to be FINE! Yeah? Just... y'know, keep breathing and all that. I've got you."

Jason’s protectiveness over his dad comes to bite him in the ass when a rumor chain about Red Hood and Bruce Wayne dating spreads like wildfire.

Everyone is disgusted and amused in equal parts

Whilst you nourish your body with exercise, slow yoga, nighttime body milk, adorn it with jewellery and sultry perfume, carefully drape it with clothes that fit… don’t forget to nourish your mind. Classical music, podcasts, brain games like crosswords, sudoku, mental math, art even if you’re terrible at it, gardening even if your plants never seem to grow, cooking even if you might burn the house down - embrace learning, embrace curiosity, and enjoy your own company. Be the best wife you could be to your own self first. Care for yourself, defend yourself, grow, teach, constructively criticise yourself; be the best parent you could be to yourself.

“I’m trying to flirt with you.” (definitely Q, not Marcus, also he's terrible at it)

[trying to flirt || accepting]

Gene blinked. “By imitating the mating dance of a Blue Footed Booby?” she asked, visibly fighting back a smile.

Her eyes suddenly lit up with delight, and she stepped back, taking Q in, in full. “Wait… wait,” she started to giggle. “Oh please, PLEASE tell me that’s why you’re wearing the blue socks?! Did you plan this?! Are you like, DOING the dance? Wait, stop, I didn’t realize- you have to go back to the beginning!”

Why Practicing Your Dream Self Privately is so Important

We all have versions of ourselves we want to be. Let’s call her “She.” 

She may be smart, beautiful, oh-so-sophisticated, knows exactly what She’s doing when walks into a room full of unknown people, accomplished…everything you’re aching to be. 

You’re struggling to achieve Her because you’re not used to being Her. You keep that version 2.0 of yourself in your thoughts but you don’t practice it irl. 

Not practicing it means that when you suddenly have to turn on your charm or have to remember etiquette in the presence of company, you can’t seem to recall those practices. Perhaps you might even feel uncomfortable, shy or awkward trying to remember all those talking points you had noted down, the “elegant gestures” that one tiktoker talks about constantly… suddenly you’re wondering how on Earth you can leave this godawful event without seeming rude. 

The problem is lack of practice. You’re so used to sitting on your couch at home with your legs spread wider than a man on a metro seat that it feels uncomfortable to now sit in a mannered way at the office dinner with the important employees. Your stomach is so used to gobbling down food without patience that you look longingly at the bread basket longer than the person seated in front of you. 

So therefore, if at home you’re not used to being even half of your best self, how are you going to feel fully confident when you’re supposed to bring “Her” out?

Obviously being fully dolled up at home makes little sense. But if you don’t practice the manners, the behaviour, the etiquette of Her - how will you comfortably transition into Her?

Do you expect to just wake up someday and become Her? Do you not think that it will take time, energy, practice to get what you want?

No amount of senseless manifesting or daydreaming is going to make your dreams come true. 

Certain habits, gestures, expressions will only come naturally to you when you make them natural to yourself by way of practice. 

You’ve read enough, saved and liked enough posts, you’ve learned all the mumbo jumbo theory to getting your life together but it’s all useless if you don’t put your learnings to practice irl.
